One thing we need on Defense is at least one more physical corner. The refs put away their whistles and while they mugged our receivers most of the game our guys seemed content to play soft.

In a sense what makes him inadequate usually; his pass rush abilities, were his boost in this game. He's a vet, he knows that he can't chase Lamar down but what he can do is use his experience and contain Lamar. Like an old savvy NHL defenseman, he used his positioning to make up for his declining athleticism which just so happens to be exactly what a D-line needs to do against Lamar. I applaud his work!

They show another angle which you could easily see Poyer didn't touch Pascal until his knee was off the ground. It was bang, bang, but they played it multiple times; so it was certainly a fumble.

In my opinion, during the huge sack play it looked as if Allen fought off the first man; then saw the other Colt. After seeing that Colt he looked as if he tried to tuck the ball in but the DE made a good play and stripped him. Earlier in the half he was surrounded and just ate the sack. So Allen is learning that throwing the ball wildly when pressured isn't wise and that there are occasions where you just have to eat it. To me that is a great sign of his growth.

Best part is certainly the little baby at the end. Really shows how long he's done these.

1st Half he had a negative ball 2nd Half he gets one of those small children's footballs. He was a net negative but certainly tried to dig himself out of that 1st half.

Mahomes is the only correct answer.

Just as Deion Sanders said, if they can channel that energy and passion into striving to become a great player; he would be a great asset going forward. He may not strike us as a basic process guy but I could definitely see McDermott liking his passion and skills.

Sent my $17 this morning; happy to do it.

Gold finger.....

You really need to step off Mr. Gnome. Last I checked Virgil isn't holding a gun to your head and demanding you read his opinions. He isn't perfect but he gives us a great overall summary of the game each and every week and that should be appreciated and not thrown to the wolves.

Bills taking a page out of the Patriots playbook; attack the enemy's weakness regardless of the prior week. We ran 200 yards last week and every other year the Bills would of gone run heavy again after such success last week. However instead we never even thought about the run and just butchered their DBs for 4 quarters.

D in the 1st Half C- in the 2nd Half for a D+ Overall One thing Daboll needs to make sure of is Allen having early success in the game as it seems to reverberate for the rest of the game. The 1st Drive was Allen failing then making a great throw to Brown who missed it completely. He catches that, who knows if that fixes the jitters. Allen wasn't putting the touch on the long ball like he did in the 1st 4 games; perhaps due to the rain? He had one great drive however which was awesome. That throw to Diggs in the endzone was also spot on by both parties. I do honestly feel our defense's inability to stop opponents is psychologically effecting Allen into playing more hero ball as he feels the pressure to win games by his arm alone. Could his non-throwing shoulder be effecting some of his accuracy somehow?

Come on Allen, we need your A game for the rest of the game! GO BILLS!!

To be honest, I'm not even angry with his fumble today. He was ragdolled by the arguably best defensive lineman in the game and the ball came out as he spun around.

Best part is he didn't take a discount really. He just wanted to be the highest paid DB and Beane made said dream a reality. Tre even said he knew it wasn't going to last long but he was happy regardless. So it wasn't truly a discount but rather a great contract which was soon after hopped over by another GM

I like them, rather clever and quick witted. Doesn't rely on every new trend

I'd imagine Beane would of tossed out an offer but I highly doubt BoB wanted to trade in the Conference with the team they barely got past in the playoffs. I don't think the relationship problem would of mattered seeing as we wanted AB last year. Hell, maybe BoB feared Gainey's knowledge being able to fleece him lol.

For those who think this happens all the time I believe you are forgetting the exact course of events. Typically, if a player tells his blockers not to worry the KR will just allow the ball to hit the ground in the endzone and bounce out. The key difference between this play and the vast majority was that he called off his blockers, never signaled a fair catch, and then caught the ball. The KR then proceeds to take two steps forward and toss the ball at the ref. In the end the KR gave mixed signals and passed it forward which should of resulted in a Safety and Bills ball. Instead they bailed out the Texans KR thanks to "common sense" which is never used during the season as a free pass on stupidity.

Oh certainly, they need to clean up that weird oversight but as the law states is how its supposed to be played. Why does the rules bend against us but never for us? Whistles cannot be reviewed to my knowledge

Now that I have reviewed the play, the ref blows the play dead. You can see the ref behind the play holding his hand up with his whistle in his mouth marking the turnover's spot. Had the endzone ref or another ref blown the play dead then this would be null and void. Since the the play was not blown dead its a live ball until a whistle blows it dead. Hell, they could of said they had the intent to blow the play dead and that would of been the end of it. They worsened the situation by saying that after a discussion they were overturning the call on the field which was a touchdown. Not only did they give no legitimate reason for the overturn but also ignored the fact it had been ruled a TD on the field which would require a Booth Review as all scoring plays are reviewed.

No, he intercepted inside the endzone. As long as he doesn't leave the endzone he can go out of bounds anywhere for a touchback. If he ran it out to the 1 and then back into the endzone that would be a safety.

If he ran out the back then he cannot be anything but out of bounds for a touchback. If he lays there until an opposing player touches him its a touchback. He didn't stand up and toss the ball to the ref, he didn't run in and out of the endzone. To give up requires 1 of 3 things, a kneel down, a slide, or a refusal to get up while no one is around. A fair catch can also count in most circumstances. The Texans player did none of that, he told his blockers what he was going to do but never gave the ref any reason to rule he'd given himself up. He walked a step forward and then just tossed the ball.

It should of been a touchdown; had he not fielded the ball and waived it off then fine. But he caught it, walked forward and flipped it to the ref. That is by rule a fumble and not giving yourself up. Tre's pick in the endzone is giving yourself up. He just laid on the ground/ ran out the back. That is clear cut. There is no questioning his intention on the play as he doesn't go forward to advance the ball.

Based on the replay, Beasley could have gotten open but its hard to tell if the DB stopped due to the throwing motion or stopped for another reason.
